Edessa Explorers' Guild

The Edessa Explorers' Guild was an 1136-established guild in Edessa.

History
In 1092 a group of Venetian travelers were commissioned 1,000 ƒ to construct lodgings in the city of Antioch by Doge Bartolomeo Selvo of the Republic of Venice, who had purchased Edessa from The Turks. The guild served as the gathering point for pioneering types to further the pursuits of traversing the earth, and proper cartography. The guild tended to offer its findings to the military, making the troops more graceful travelers.
